Vehicle fire- I was asleep at 5:00 a.M.,when I was awakened by a loud pop or bang. I thought there was a car wreck in front of the house. I went outside to check on the wreck and found smoke coming out of my carport. I ran into the carport to find my 1995 Ford E-150 conversion van on fire under the hood. My family was still asleep so I ran back into the house and woke them up and called 911. I ran back outside to the van, put it in neutral and pushed it into the street away from the house. I put the fire out with a garden hose. The fire department arrived on scene shortly after fire was extinguished. The fire department called a fire investigator to the scene. The fire was electrical in nature. The van had been parked for about 11 hours. The cruise control stopped working about 1 or 2 months before the fire. State farm totaled the van. I would like "Ford" to investigate the electrical cause before someone gets killed. If I had been at work my family would have possibly been killed as the fire would have spread to the house.
